With CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_BSS_OFFSET enabled, the initial (pre-relocation) stack is placed some distance after bss_start. The control DTB is appended to the U-Boot binary at bss_start. If the DTB is too large, or the SP BSS offset too small, then the initial stack could corrupt the DTB. Enhance the Makefile to check whether this is likely to occur.
Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren swarren@nvidia.com --- This builds on top of my previous patch "ARMv8: Allow dynamic early stack pointer". However, since all the logic is conditional and only activated if CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_BSS_OFFSET is defined, it can be applied with or without that other patch. It'd make sense to apply it afterwards and in the same branch though, or the change won't make a lot of sense to someone reading history in order.
